Tout juste la moyenne, idée sympa mais beaucoup de questions sans réponses concernant l'héroïne et l'histoire générale du film.
Si on passe à côté des incohérences du scénario et autres ça fait passer un bon moment
Robots were supposed to make our lives easier, and at first, they did. Despite all the progress humanity made, it wasn't good enough for Elias Van Dorne (John Cusack), who decided robots were the way to salvation. Van Dorne promised his latest program, Kronos, would save the planet, but how? By wiping out all human life, because we are ultimately what is killing Earth. Fast Forward ninty-seven years as Andrew Davis (Julian Schaffner) wakes up in a world he doesn't know. Attempting to find his way, he meets a young girl, who tells him of a place that is free from Kronos, only question is, can they make it there in one piece? On paper this seems like a great story, and for a b-movie, the special effects are pretty remarkable, but that was the only notable thing about this film. The whole plot really doesn't make much sense, I mean why would Van Dorne want to destroy humanity and live alone forever as part of a computer program? The cast is lead by newcomer, Julian Schaffner, who shows a lot of inexperience but also a lot of potential. I think it's a good thing for a young actor to start out in a film like this, because he can gain his experience in something relatively small and unknown, before moving on to bigger and better things. As for John Cusack, I usual enjoy his films, but in this case he was just terrible. Elias Van Dorne is a character without feeling or purpose, just an evil button pusher, who loves the sound of his own voice, a complete waste of Cusack's talent. The bottom line, Singularity has it moments, but there are too many slow points and too much inexperience seeping through for it to be something I would ever watch again or recommend over hundreds of better choices.
Its pretty bad, acting is really poor. I could have done with bad CG. But the acting was unbearable. I quit after 40 min in. The draw was John Cusack..I love him but why did he even accept this role?
Singularity is like a movie where some gym teacher is creating a high school play that’s kind of a mix between the movie Transcendence and a YA novel. The robot special effects are good for this turd of a movie which is the only reason I gave it a 2. The acting and plot are terrible.

Panned by everyone, critics and viewers, "Singularity" deserves it because it's below the worst expectations. It doesn't even make smile like at least a Syfy production.
Just watched this movie and....Jesus Christ. This gotta be some of the worst acting performances I’ve ever seen. Beyond cringeworthy and just cliche. Don’t waste your time watching this movie.
